Fulton's - the good, bad, ugly please

[pearljim]

Can't seem to find much on Fulton's. We are trying for the first time next week. Any review assistance would be most appreciated.

We've been to Fulton's 3 times. Last August was the most recent. The food is good and they have a broad selection. Although, like most Disney restaurants, I did feel it was over priced. Last visit our server was preoccupied with telling us about his upcoming vacation. Compared to other Disney restaurants we like Fultons. Compared to quality restaurants overall, Fultons is average at best. Enjoy.

I've eaten there twice and never been disappointed with my meal. Like others, I do feel it is overpriced. We DID have great service while we were there....

Check out the menu and then make a decision!

I have to agree. To me it was very overpriced. We wanted a surf & turf and ended up having to pay a la carte. Overall it was just ok and have not been back since. If you like Italian - try Portobello's right next door. We had great food and service there.

DD and I ate there in November. Yes, it's expensive, but so is every other restaurant in Disney It was our favorite meal of the trip. We had great service, the food was wonderful and they treated DD like a queen. There is a review linked below in my dining review report (it's near the of the report)

We've been to Fulton's more times than I can count. The only bad thing I can say about it is that it is very expensive and NOT on the dining plan. We try to go at least every other trip, but were fortunate enough to go the last two trips (our special 25th anniversary dinner two years ago with our best friends and then again this past September). There is a review and pictures in my "mini dining report" which is linked in my signature. We LOVE it...we've always had great food and great service.

Love, love, love their seared Tuna Appetizer! Wow it is so delectable - it's the best seared Tuna I have ever had, and I eat it every chance I get. The last time I went I got their "catch of the day" and it was very overpriced, but good nonetheless. I will definitely go back - the service is top notch and that's worth the extra money IMO.

My family and I had dinner there in August 2008 and thought it was very good. I had ordered the Fulton's Fried Platter which I enjoyed, so if we ever go back there again I would order it a second time.

The Good: Food quality and service
The Bad: Doesn't feel like "Disney," because it isn't
The Ugly: Big city prices, in some cases even more than Disney prices

Fulton's is run by the Levy restaurant group, who also run two other DTD places: Portobello's and Wolfgang Puck Cafe. They also have 10 or so other restaurants elsewhere and run the food operations at sporting venues all over the country.

I've been to the DTD Fulton's twice and had very good meals and really top-notch service, despite it being extremely crowded. Their meat and seafood are excellent; among the best I've had in WDW from a quality standpoint. However, I don't find their food to be particularly creative (as compared to the best WDW Signature restaurants), so I'm in no hurry to return. But if you want an upscale, straight-up steak and seafood dinner, it is a good choice.

You will get nothing but wonderful remarks from us, we love this place...click on my Oct 08, Jan 09, Oct 09 and Nov 09 links to see tons of pictures...the food and service are top notch!

After a number of bad experiences (poor service, so-so food) we avoided Fultons for a long time. But based on a few recent good reviews (including one by Kevin on a recent DIS podcast) we decided to give it another try for lunch a couple of weeks ago. We were pleasantly surprised this time. The food was good, we had a good server and the price of the meal was in-line with other nice (not signature) dining spots at WDW.

You may want to read the dining reviews here when trying to decide.

We were there on 12/28/09 and the food was ok. It was not worth what you pay for. If you don't have a side listed with your entree, then you have to pay extra for one. I had the crab legs and they were no different than if I ate them at Joes Crab Shack in my opinion. My DH and DS and some type of whole fish and my husband said that it was very dry and not good at all.

Years ago we LOVED Fulton's, then after awhile we had a few less than pleasurable experiences there, so we did not go back for awhile. Luckily, two years ago we decided to give it another try, especially after I was reading quite a few great reviews on the Dis regarding Fulton's. Well, it was great! The food was delicious, just like it used to be, and the service was spot on! We have returned 2 other times since then, and all have been terrific, so I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone! We also enjoy eating there for lunch. I had a delicious seafood cobb salad, which was out of this world. It had tons of crab, shirmp and scallops in it. I also love their crab claws!
